Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about tenure, whether it is freehold or leasehold, and how many years remain on any lease. Buyers should check the title and confirm that it matches the seller's details, ideally with help from a lawyer. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Ask which facilities are available and how well they are kept. Always view the actual unit rather than relying on photos. Check for water stains, the condition of fittings, the amount of natural light and the parking arrangements. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, including the deposit terms, who pays for repairs and the house rules on renovations and pets. Work with a registered real estate agent where possible.
